Strange Hotels Japan

Not exactly the warmest looking of hotel receptions, but it is novel.

A HOTEL being controlled by robots may sound like an uprising from a terrifying sci-fi movie, but relax, it’s just the latest accommodation offering in Nagasaki. Yes, it seems the future has arrived, and not surprisingly, it’s in Japan.

Henn-na Hotel, which translates to strange hotel, is staffed by approximately 80 robots, with just 10 people ‘behind the scenes’ to supervise security and cleaning.

On arrival, guests are greeted by an incredibly realistic female robot that not only looks human, but also simulates the facial expressions and movements of one to make guests feel at ease.

Oh I’m sorry, you want a receptionist who speaks English? You’ll have to move down to the end where an arguably less attractive receptionist will take care of you. Sure, he looks like he just stomped off the set of Jurassic Park, and it watches you a little creepily as you fill in your forms, but it has a bow tie pill box hat on, so it’s all aboveboard.

From here a robotic porter will take your bags and show you to your room, where you won’t need a key because it will use a facial recognition system to open your door instead. Inside, you can relax and enjoy the simple comforts of your room, where the air-conditioning responds to your body temperature and room facilities can be controlled using a tablet.

If you need anything, you can ask your robotic room concierge — a small lamp-sized character whose name is Tuly, possibly due to looking like a tulip-shaped doll. Tuly can tell you about the weather, control the lighting, and set the alarm for you. If you want to store your bags, there’s a large robotic arm that will take care of that for you, or if you’re feeling peckish, you can grab yourself a snack at the ‘smart’ cafe. If that’s too much effort though, there are plans underway for drones to just fly the snacks to your room.

This isn’t about an amusement park gimmick though. The park was opened in 1992 as an “Eco-Friendly Future City” and Henn-na Hotel continues that tradition in its design to maximise efficiency by reducing electricity and waste while making a stay in one of its rooms an enjoyable experience for tourists.

Currently there are 72 rooms opened, with another 72 to be ready in 2016, and while you may expect this high tech heaven to be an expensive way to have some futuristic fun in Japan, prices start at a very reasonable 7, 000 yen, or $80 per night, making it accessible even to budget travellers.
